The Cultivation of Hops.

In connection with the various articles
on hops ii may be well to give brief out
line OF the methods of cultivation prac-
ticed in foreign countries. The cultiva-
ton of hops on the continent differs very
considerably from our home cultivation.
Artificial manure is scarcely known, prin-
cipally yard manure being used The
hight Of the poles through the greater por-
ton of Germany, Bavaria and Bohemia
run about twenty-six feet, many being as
high as forty feet, and is not a pole like
our own, but resembles somewhat a small
scaffold pole. The farmers throughout the
German Empire are principally their own
freeholders. They cultivate from two TO
twelve acres, on which they grow variety
of articles. There are no farmers on the
continent who have large hop plantations,
and nearly every farmer is able, with the
assistance Of his family, to do ali the work,
consequently his labor expenses are very
slight. The hops throughout Germany,
Bavaria, Bohemia, Burgundy and Alsace
are dried by the air, and not Kindred,
therefore the hop cones are whole, but
only retain their original favor. for a
short time. When the hops are picked
and dried the grower puts them in sacks
just as they are, without pressing, and
takes them to the nearest market, where
he disposes Of them to the brokers, who
buy them for the merchants, who have
them packed in bales and sell them to the
brewers. The German brewers both buy
and use the hops in the natural state
they will not have them kiln-dried or sui :
phuped. The only hons throughout the
German Empire which are kiln-dried and
sulphured are the hops which come to this
country and America, and which are
mostly of second-rate quality. The choicest
Hallertau, Wolnzach and Saaz hops are
known in this market by name only; the
real article IS scarcely ever sent, because
our buyers would not pay the price, so We
have to put up with the inferior sort
known principally as export hops. Some
Of our large merchants, however, do i'm
port the choicest Hallertau and Saaz hops
lone house growing their own for their
brewer friends, but these hops are purely
and simply to execute orders and not for
market purposes. In Belgium and Hol-
land the hops are both picked and dried
IN very rough manner. The growers are
simply peasants, who sometimes do not
grow more than a bale of hops, which they
wheel on 4 barrow TO the nearest market
where the merchant buys, cures and packs
them. The kilns in Belgium and Holland
are OF most old-fashioned sort. Strenu-
Gus efforts are, however, now being made
to have modern kilns, and also by paying q
better price for their hops to induce the
farmer to pick only the hops and not the
leaves. With regard to the latter item
there is room for extensive reform in ouf
country.-Nark Lane Express, London.

DECORATIVE DON'TS.
What to Do and What to Avoid to Make
Home Happy.

Don't hang picture so that it will be
necessary to mount a stepladder to view it.
Hang it SO that the center will be about
five feet and half from the floor, little
below the line of vision of person of av-
erage hight.
Don't select furniture whose means OF
support do not appear adequate. Chairs
with spindle legs inclined too far inward or
outward have an apparent tendency toward
disruption and are constant terrors to call
ers. Straight, substantial legs suggest
strength and inspire confidence
Don't treat a hallway as though it were
dooryard, and no part of the house
proper. \ hall should be inviting and
hold out to the visitor promise of the
beauty of the inner rooms.
Don't put a piece of furniture into a
room merely because it is pretty and will
fill up. Every article should have Its real or
apparent use; as a general thing the ne
cessary pieces will occupy all the space
that should be allotted to furniture.
Don't permit white marble mantel to
disfgure an otherwise tasteful room.
Cover it with draped mantel board.
White marble has 4 suggestion of GENE
teries about it. 1t always looks crude in a
drawing-room, even in the form of the
finest culpture
Don't put paper on the walls of a
nursery; it is better to either paint or cal
chime.
Don't have a drawing-room so filled with
frail and delicate bric-a-brac that the least
movement is fraught with danger of costly
and wholesale breakage This does not
conduce to ease.
Don't have dark carpet and walls in q
room that is deficient in light Only
apartments open to the outer light will
stand gloomy tones in decoration.
Don't hang a picture from one nail
Aside from the mere question of safety,
the use of two nails the cord stretched
across them so as to come down squarely to
the corners of the frame has symmetri-
cal effect and makes the walls look very
much more finished.
Don't have carpet patterned with gi-
gantic roses or other actual flowers. They

Don't place a picture or a bit of decora-
ton where it does not serve some artistic
purpose. If picture is intended 10 be

A Mammoth Turtle.

While the steamer Flora Temple was
cruising near the snapper banks yesterday,
about fifteen miles off shore. Captain
Montcalm Broward observed an immense
black object floating on the surface of the
water. Upon approaching it he discov-
cred that it was an immense turtle of some
sort, which was lazily sleeping on the sur
face of the water. The Captain secured a
harpoon, and, when near enough, dexter
ously threw the weapon, and succeeded in
txing 1t firmly in the back of the monster.
X was found impossible TO raise this mount
ais Of flesh to the deck of the boat so the
Captain attached hawser to the hagpoon
and taking it in tow brought it TO the
city, arriving at Deootte's woodward about
5 O'Clock, when the huge object was
hauled out upon the shore, where its great
size soon attracted large crowd that gaz.d
with wonder upon the strange visitor.
The weight of the Captains catch was
variousIy estimated to be from 1000 to
500 pounds. 1t measured across the an
terror limbs fully eight feet two inches
seven feet two inches from the end of the
nose to the tip of the tail, and perhaps
eight feet in circumference. The Captain
called his catch q tortoise, but the .Nelrs-
Herald man identified it as a peculiarly
splendid specimen on the trunk or leathery
turtle. The great seq denizen inhabits the
Gulf stream along the Atlantic shores and
elsewhere. 1t does not have shell, but

THE PIONEER TORPEDO BoAr.-A re-
markable- secret has just been revealed,
after burial in the sea for more than IS
years. On February l, 1851, submarine
boat, built by Wilhelm Bauer, was sunk in
the harbor of Kiel, where it has remained
in 40 feet of water, until lately discovered
in the course of dredging operations The
curious craft has been raised and its me-
chanism-kept secret by its inventories
been exposed to view The boat was made
of sheet-iron, and was % feet long, 10 feet
deep and feet wide. The driving was
effected by means of three-bladed screw
worked by two large wheels, each wheel
being turned by man treading on proiec-
tions on its periphery. The bow extended
upward in peculiarly shaped head pro-
vided with bulls-eyes closed by thick
glass. Sinking and raising were effected
by admitting and pumping out water The
boat was designed for placing torpedoes
under hostile vessels, and was successfully
tested, but unfortunately crushed by the
pressure of the water at depth of so feet.
1t will be reconstructed and preserved as
the first venture in submarine warfare.

Cholera.

The steamship Alesia, from Naples and
Earseilles, with between FIVE and six hun
dred immigrants. arrived in New York
harbor last week with Asiatic cholera on
board. \ few years ago this announce
ment would have almost created a panic:
to-day, thanks to our increased knowledge
Of the disease, of the means by which it is
spread, and of the best methods of dealing
with a ship thus infected, every intelli-
gent person knows that there is no ground
for immediate alarm, because the presence
Of the disease has been detected in time
and the buildings and appliance of the
quarantine establishment of the Port of
New York are ample 10 meet the emer-
gency,
How long ii may be considered necessary
to detain under observation at HOffman's
Island those passengers who continue
apparently well it is difficult to say, since
some Of them had shown symptoms Of the
disease and have been removed to hospital,
but it Is highly probable that but few
cases will occur among them, and that in q
short time il will be safe to allow them TO
continue their journey. The baggage is
probably more dangerous than their per
sons as means of transmitting the disease,
and while there is no doubt that it can be
thoroughly disinfected, it may be ques-
tiun whether il would not be best in order
to secure public confidence, to destroy it by
fire and reimburse its cost to the owners
But, while we have no fear of the results
Of the present importation of cholera, and
no doubt as to the thoroughness with
which the germs Of the disease will be de-
stroyed in this particular case, it is evident
that, until cholera has entirely and per-
nanently disappeared, not only from the
Mediterranean ports, but from Europe,
there must be a certain amount of danger
in every ship, and every immigrant with
baggage, coming frGm these ports. That
this danger is extremely small in each in
dividual case is true, that it is little
greater than that which Is due to possible
importation from other ports is also true.
but the sum of all the risks Is a very seri-
Gus item. We have very long frontier
through which the disease NAV find its
way, and only three OF four ports with
quarantine stations properly equipped to
deal with it even if it is recognized.
1t will not do, therefore, te simply rely
on quarantine 10 prevent danger. We
must recognize the warning and do what
We can to put our cities and towns int
such condition that even if the germs do
find their way into the country, they shall
die for want of favorable conditions for
their multiplication and growth, How
this Is to be done is well known. NUM-
cipal cleanliness, the securing OF water
supplies free from sewage contamination,
and the doing away with the storage of
excreta are the main points to be attended
to. It Is almost certain that We have yet
SIX or eight nonths' time in which to

THE HAWAIIANS.
The Rapid Approach to Entire Extinc-
ton of Their Race,


ton of Their Race.
The rapid extinction of the native pop
ulation of the islands is one of the marvels
of history. When Captain Cook ex-
plored the islands he made careful esti-
mate of the people, and fixed the number
at 100000. A half century saw them cut
down one-half, while thirty-seven years
ago, when the first accurate census was
taken, the number was found reduced to
S1,453. The reduction has been steady
and rapid ever since, the census of 1878
showing 44,08S native Hawaiians, and
that of 1884 only 1904 natives. while the
present estimate is $4,000 The half
castles, who numbered only $50 in 1850.
have increased to APIS. The Chinese.
who were represented by only 300 coolies
thirty-seven years ago, now have $4,000,
of whom $50 are women. The last census
gave 9,377 Portuguese, 2,066 Americans,
,2S2 British, 1000 Germans, 1872 French,
and ], $50 other foreigners.
The diseases of civilization have swept
clean Of native Hawaiians whole districts
that once boosted dense population, while
drunkenness and other vices have slain
their tens Of thousands. No systematic
effort has been made by the Government to
check the ravages of disease or to stay the
introduction of deadly vices. Leprosy has
become more prevalent of late years, and
although there is hospital at Honolulu
and a lazaretto on the lonely island of No
lokai, the disease increases rapidly. This
is owing to the carelessness of the author
tiles, who do not insist upon the transfer of
lepers to Molokai. A rich man stricken
with this awful malady is allowed to live
at home and carry on his business, while
the poor are consigned to the living death
in the leper settlement The missionaries
did good work in retarding the extinction
Of the natives, but of late both drunken
ness and the opium vice have spread
alarmingly, and the best observers declare
that the close Of the century will see the
end of the once powerful Hawaiian race.
The natives have the virtue of hospi-
tally, good nature and honesty; but they
are incorrigibly indolent, and have no
more care for the morrow than the Ameri-
can Indian. Like the Indian, they are
fond of games and of all outdoor sports.
Given an abundant supply of poi, species
OF flour made from the root of the taro
plant, and the Hawaiian is content. He
has good voice and is passionately fond
of singing, and shows no small skill in
playing on musical Instruments One of
the sights that most impresses the visitor
to the islands is the spectacle of the
wretched lepers at Molokai, sitting under
the banana trees in the brilliant moonlight
and singing the native songs with their
mournful refrain, while earth and sea and
sky seem to unite in proclaiming that here
is the earthly paradise that the poets have
yainly sought; here on rock-bound Molo-
kai, where the shadow of mere awful
death than Dante ever dreamed of lies on
the heads of the doomed Ministries and
makes a mockery of this surprisingly
beautiful tropical scene.-G. H. Fitch, in
Cosmopolitan.
